Click it. You won't understand how ridiculously long it is until you notice how long my worktable is and the fact that the fluff will not fit onto it without dangling over the edges. You see that smaller fluff on the spoon handles over there?
That is fluff 2.0. It is about half as long as the original fluff. Specifically, 52 sts to the original version's 92. Of course, it didn't occur to me until I was almost done with the capelet and noticed that I was about to run out of yarn that this thing was perhaps a bit too long. You'd think running out of room on the needles would have given it away first, wouldn't you? Damn, I should have taken a picture of that.
Just in case you were skeptical about the existence of any sort of lace pattern in all that fluff, well, you can sort of see it there. In the large version. Okay, well, you can see YOs and YOs indicate lace, right? >_<
I think I just about used an entire year's worth of "fluff"s in this post. Remind me to never use that word again after this thing is done.

I'm a good boy and do gauge swatches for everything because I'm knitting pretty much for other people and fittings are a rare option.
That looks like a purple triffid/Audrey plant, must be a huge spider in there somewhere!!
I just finished the &$%^*# capelet and mine looks just like that. It turns out that there's an error in the pattern. All the stitches that are printed at K YO P YO K YO P in 1 stitch should instead be K P K P in 1 stitch. Mine increased to monstrous proportions.. at the end instead of having 56 stitches, I had 354. It's going to be a .... something. I don't know. Maybe a huge scarf. Maybe a curtain valance.
